In this week’s episode, Beau chats with Michael Klee, a technical sales rep with Lincoln Electric who had quite the journey to get to the position he is in today. He reached out because he heard us talking about the Hyperfill system on a previous podcast and wanted to explain exactly what it is and how long it has been around. He tells us about the kinds of industries that would use this new system and its benefits over other high deposition processes. He gives us a background on how he learned to weld and then pursued a career as a welding engineer instead, talks about how his work with Lincoln has taken him around the world, and then leaves us with some advice to keep your mind open to opportunities and the importance of networking.

In this week's episode, Beau chats with Will Urban, Tim Urban, and Thomas Thibault about smelting using primitive techniques. We ran into them up at The Maker Camp and they let Beau join in on their collection and decided it would be cool to explain the process. From beginning to end they walk us through the process of smelting your own metal that you could use to make tools. From constructing a furnace out of clay, sand, and peat moss, to collecting the raw ore, to melting it down in the furnace to be consolidated into a bloom of iron.
